The major league leader with 45 RBI, Ordonez has 13 hits in 19at-bats with four homers and 12 RBI against the Angels thisseason. He hit two of those homers in an 8-7 win here onWednesday night.

On Thursday, Ordonez singled home a run in the first inning,doubled and scored in the third, delivered a two-out, two-rundouble in the fourth and singled in the sixth.

Guillen highlighted a four-run first inning with a three-runhomer and added a two-run shot in the sixth off reliever ChrisBootcheck.

Santana (3-6) lost for the fifth time in as many road startsthis season after yielding eight runs and seven hits in just 32/3 innings.

Activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, JeremyBonderman (3-0) made his first start since May 8 and allowedjust four hits in eight innings.

Bonderman pulled a Houdini act in the first inning, escaping abases-loaded, none-out jam after allowing a single to OrlandoCabrera and a pair of walks to Chone Figgins and VladimirGuerrero. Gary Matthews Jr. then hit a comebacker to Bonderman,who threw to catcher Mike Rabelo to start a home-to-firstdouble play. Casey Kotchman hit a flyout to center to end theinning.

Santana got into immediate trouble, hitting Placido Polanco witha pitch and giving up a single to Gary Sheffield. Ordonezsingled home Polanco before Guillen hit a towering drive overthe right field wall for his fifth home run of the season.

Ordonez continues assault on Angels; Guillen homers twice

<h3>DETROIT 12, LA ANGELS 0</h3>DETROIT (Ticker) -- Magglio Ordonez continued his assault onthe Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Ervin Santana continued hisroad misery.

Ordonez went 4-for-4 with three RBI and Carlos Guillen homeredtwice and drove in five runs to lead the Detroit Tigers to a12-0 victory over the Angels in the rubber game of their serieson Thursday.

The major league leader with 45 RBI, Ordonez has 13 hits in 19at-bats with four homers and 12 RBI against the Angels thisseason. He hit two of those homers in an 8-7 win here onWednesday night.

"I'm just swinging the bat well," Ordonez said of his 15thcareer four-hit game. "They (the Angels) got a lot of goodpitchers so I can't explain my success against them."

On Thursday, Ordonez singled home a run in the first inning,doubled and scored in the third, delivered a two-out, two-rundouble in the fourth and singled in the sixth.

Guillen highlighted a four-run first inning with a three-runhomer and added a two-run shot in the sixth off reliever ChrisBootcheck for his fifth career multi-homer game and first sincelast September 12 against Texas.

Santana (3-6) lost for the fifth time in as many road startsthis season after yielding eight runs and seven hits in just 32/3 innings.

"They got a great lineup and Ervin left the ball up," Angelsmanager Mike Scioscia said. "Magglio is really on some kind ofa roll."

Activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, JeremyBonderman (3-0) made his first start since May 8 and allowedjust four hits in eight innings.

"To be out for that long with a blister is frustrating," saidBonderman, who walked five and struck out six. "I was just gladto get back out there and pitch. Getting all those runs wassure great."

Wilfredo Ledezma pitched a perfect ninth to complete the Tigers'first shutout of the season.

Bonderman pulled a Houdini act in the first inning, escaping abases-loaded, none-out jam after allowing a single to OrlandoCabrera and a pair of walks to Chone Figgins and VladimirGuerrero. Gary Matthews Jr. then hit a comebacker to Bonderman,who threw to catcher Mike Rabelo to start a home-to-firstdouble play. Casey Kotchman hit a flyout to center to end theinning.

"It's amazing how things turned in that first inning," Tigersmanager Jim Leyland said. "They get nothing after the doubleplay and then we come back with a big inning."

Santana got into immediate trouble, hitting Placido Polanco witha pitch and giving up a single to Gary Sheffield. Ordonezsingled home Polanco before Guillen hit a towering drive overthe right field wall for his fifth home run of the season.

The Angels threatened in the third inning, but Bonderman struckout Matthews with runners on first and third to end the inning.

Sheffield hit a solo homer off Santana in the third. Ordonezfollowed with a double and came home on a sacrifice fly byRabelo, increasing the lead to 6-0.

Bonderman escaped another bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning,retiring Chone Figgins on a flyout to center to end the threat.

"Walked more batters then I would have liked but I was able tomake big situation pitches," Bonderman said.

Ordonez knocked out Santana with a two-run double which bouncedoff the left field wall in the fourth inning.

Curtis Granderson hit a two-run double over the head of leftfielder Tommy Murphy in the fifth off Bootcheck and Polancofollowed with an RBI triple, increasing the lead to 10-0.

Ordonez singled in the sixth and Guillen followed with hissecond home run of the game.

"We've put up a lot of runs the last two days and that's whatthis lineup is capable of," Guillen said.
